Magicka Sorcerer (SafeMode Sorc 2 Pets)

Introduction

Hello and welcome to my first build I deemed worthy of putting up for all to see. This is part 3 of my build and works equally as well for completing content including all dungeon hard modes as well as maelstrom runs! With this build you can achieve 33.5k DPS on a 3 mil dummy and have a nearly unlimited amount of healing.
Outside of the major one shots you’ll be able to heal through just about anything maintaining your rotation and having a nearly 100% uptime on Bahraha’s Curse. This is a lightning heavy attack build, meaning resource management is not a problem.
As I said before this build is my favorite build for completing maelstrom and solo farming world bosses.

Resource Management

Resources are managed entirely through the rotation and can be supplemented with trash potions. No need for expensive Spell Power Pots!

Gear Setup

Maelstrom Staff: The staff isn’t necessary for this build and you can complete VMA along with everything else without it. However, with the amount of damage that it buffs your light and heavy attacks it will add between 3-4k DPS to this build.

Gear Selection and Location

Bahraha’s Curse – Probably my favorite set in the game solely due to its versatility, you can DPS in it, you can tank in it, it’s just an awesome set! Plus, it’s overlooked as a damage set so you can get it super cheap. Comes from Hew’s Bane overland and can be found very affordably in the guild traders

Necropotence – overland set from Riverspire, a must have for any pet sorc build

Please don’t be a cookie cutter build follower, read the tooltips associated with each skill. The best players are also students of the game. Take the time to understand what you’re doing and why. This knowledge will help you determine if you need to speed up or slow down the rotation when shielding or dodge rolling, either to optimize skill uptime or gain extra resources
